Science - Smithsonian

Business - Kiplinger's (which you didn't list)

News - The Economist (it's more a news magazine than a business magazine; and Harper's and the Atlantic are not news magazines, they're...)

Culture - The New Yorker (used to be Harper's, but it's gone really downhill ever since Lapham decided that gunning for Bush was his mission in life)

Politics (another category you miss) - American Prospect

Entertainment (ditto) - Sight & Sound

I like Wired sometimes, and sometimes The Economist has a good article, but I only read it when someone links to them. After I got a computer I've stopped watching TV and reading magazines printed on dead trees. Sometimes I make an exception.

Actually Harpers went down hill when Lapham started gunning for Clinton. Which he basically did back in 1992.

How depressing. Harper's in the 90s -- under Lapham -- was a truly great magazine. Now, with every article seemingly turned over to his anti-Bush, anti-GOP crusade, it's become tedious. I don't even disagree with him, as posters here could guess; but having my beliefs confirmed (in mind-numbing detail and a shrill tone) is not why I pick up a magazine.
